Governor Markell today announced the nomination of Andre G. Bouchard, widely recognized as one of the country’s premier corporate law practitioners, to serve as the 21st Chancellor of the Court of Chancery. If confirmed by the Delaware Senate, Bouchard would succeed the Honorable Leo E. Strine, Jr., who was sworn in as Chief Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court in February.

Bouchard is a graduate of Boston College and Harvard Law School. Currently, he is the managing partner of Bouchard Margules & Friedlander, P.A in Wilmington, Delaware.

Looks like my friends in Delaware accurately predicted this nomination back in January.
